HT4061 Apple air has very low wifi download speed.

Thisis the third time I have tried to get a solution. My wife purchased and IPAD air to replace Ipad. The speed of the wifi is un acceptable. I have tried all the various fixes but none have improved performance. When I compare side by side to my lap top computer Apple speed is 1/5 what I should get, in fact, the Download speed is less than the upload speed. this test was conducted along side the router as well as at other locations with no difference in speed.
I am currently working on 2.5 mhz band dsl with netopia router.
Is there a real solution to this?

Hello piperstan,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with the Wi-Fi speed on your wife's iPad Air. I understand that you have tried some troubleshooting steps already. I found a few steps that I recommend for this issue.
If you have not yet tried these steps, I recommend following the steps below:
Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

I have just been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks. I have now changed my passport but want to know if I will be charged as I did not download this ?

I have been sent an email to say that my apple id has been used to download ibooks. I have now changed my password as I have not downloaded ibooks. I would like to know if I am going to be charged ?

Was it a genuine email from Apple or a phishing attempt to try and get your account and payment details ? Whether you will be charged will depend if anything was downloaded on your account, and whether or not it was a free item - we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know if anything has been bought on your account.
The iBooks app is free app, but if you haven't already done so then check to see if anything shows on your account's purchase history : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store.
If a purchase shows there and you didn't make it, and nobody else has access to your account or devices and made it, then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

HP Pavilion g6-1d98dx has very low volume.

Hi there,
I have an
HP Pavilion g6-1d98dx with W7 Ultimate that suddenly has very low volume. I have tried rolling back the drivers, uninstalling them and the device itself.
I also tried that loudness equalization option, but it only makes it worse. It used to sound very good, but now it's horrible. Now I have to wear a headset just to listen to music! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi @Kindakool
I understand that you are having trouble with the sound from your built in speakers. I am happy to help you with this.
You can start with the following page, even though you are getting some sound.
No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 7)
Or you can check the connections on your internal speakers for that you will need:
HP Pavilion G6 Notebook PC - Maintenance and Service Guide
From Microsoft's support website:
Automatically diagnose and fix Windows audio playback problems
If those do not work it is possible that there is a physical problem with the speakers themselves. At that point I would call in to our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

IPod and iPad Wifi download speed greatly diminished

My iPad4 and IPod Touch 5 download speed is 500KB/s and upload speed is 8Mb/s, whereas my laptop's download speed is 20MB/s. Any suggestions on how to increase my iOs devices WiFi download speed? I have tried changing DNS to the several suggested on the forum to to avail. I am using Speedtest on all three devices. I am on Comcast using their Arris TG862 Gateway.

Jason,
Thanks for the advise,however, no joy.
I followed your instructions to the letter as if I was setting it up for the first time.
My windows laptop, ipad and iPod all get great download and upload speeds when within 6-8 feet of router/modem.
Upon moving all three outside of that range, like 10 feet down the hall, my laptop continues to perform but apple devices slow down to as low as 500kbs down but still have 7Mbs uploading. Prior the start of this situation 3 weeks ago,
I could use my ipad to stream Netflix in the garage on the other side of the house with 3 walls and a metal fire door in between.
I may be paranoid, but it seems like since the law regarding "throttling" passed, my Apple products are affected. When I use SpeedTest on my ipad, the download speed starts out at 10Mb/s then slows down to a crawl. It is like it is saying "Oh, and iOs device, let's slow it down."
This as detailed as I can get. Any further ideas?
I do have a Netgear high speed router that was replaced with the combination device provided by Comcast.
I have read about calling Comcast and requesting to be put into bridge mode. What do you think?
Thanks,
Mark

Slow wifi download speeds on 3gs??

Is anyone else experiencing slow wifi download speeds?? I upgraded from a first gen iPhone to the 3gs & the first thing I noticed was downloading stuff from iTunes, app store, or YouTube, Takes forever!! Example... If I put both of my phones side by side, both connected to wifi, start downloading a 36 mb podcast at the same time, my first gen iPhone will finish the file in about 2 mins and my new 3gs will take anywhere from 8 to 10 mins. Is there a problem with the 3.0 firmware or is the problem just my phone?? Any help would be much appreciated!!

I'v been dealing all day on this issue, I upgraded to the 3GS model and my wife still has the 3g, I don't have the fastest network at my house (1.5 meg) but her phone is coming in about 1021kbps and mine is 241, which seem like a big difference, especially when trying to view youtube, apple store just gave me a new phone, and it still has the same problem. I reset it, restored it, replaced it, and after replacing it I did not restore from backup but still have the same issue. I do access internet via a time capsule for whatever thats worth, and I also checked with tech support about that being the problem and we found that to not be the problem. *****, I paid $300 and committed to AT&T for another 2 years, for internet at a quarter of the speed...

HT204370 the volume is very low on downloaded movies from itunes, and my volume is turned up all the way, and my volume is fine all other times???

My volume is very low when I download a movie from itunes, and my sound is turn all the way up. The volume works fine on everything else. It's really hard to even watch the movie and enjoy it. Why is this happening?

Morning Al My issue has since been resolved after some advice from a friend. It was simple, push the optical cables in firmly until they click, however mine didnt click but there was definatley room for them to be pushed in further as if they are loose they "leak". in addition to this on the TV settings, make sure that the TV speakers are turned off

Crawling Wifi Download Speeds from iTunes Store

Ever since upgrading to iTunes 10.7, my download speeds from the iTunes store have slowed to a crawl. Prior to upgrading, I was able to download video podcasts and other media @ over 10 mbps over wifi. I have tried this on several other networks, and am experiencing the same speed issues. This does not appear to be a router issue or a FiOS issue; I have done all of the usual troubleshooting and do not seem to have any issues with download speeds outside of the iTunes store.
I am running the iTunes 10.7, and have updated OSX to the latest release of ML.
Is anyone else experiencing ridiculously slow download speeds through the iTunes store using iTunes for Mac or iOS 6 devices?

I have a 50x5 Mbit cable business class modem, from Time Warner, in my house (doing that give me priority bandwidth over other residences).... Also as a business class there's no data caps or port blockings. The most I EVER get from the iTunes Store is 4-5MBytes/sec (about 35 Mbits)... Usually I get 1-2 MBytes/sec to iTunes or any device
My guesses are
1) Apple just doesn't have the bandwidth during certain times
2) I notice they throttle accounts. If I download an entire hd season, I start out fast, then it slows after a few hrs... Im guessing apple has a max data cap per day then slows you down.
3) I also don't think Apple is capable of handling all the new 35-50Mbit connections that are now readily available from the big cable companies.

Wifi download speed - Z3

Hi, my home WIFI network has a download speed of 70MBPS, when using my Z3, it only has a download speed of 3MBPS. I checked this with a speedtest app before and after a restart of both the phone and the router.
Am I missing something?
Thanks

Teemboh are you using any bluetooth devices along with the wifi connection. Bluetooth and wifi use the same onboard chip in mobile devices. pairing up a bluetooth device will force the xperia to micro switch between 2 signals to keep both intact (bluetooth and wifi) this results in a huge performance loss on the wifi. and can even cause bluetooth connections to fail when wifi is used to download big amounts of data.
I never understood why manufacturers make one chip for bluetooth and wifi. Yes it uses the same 2.4 GHZ transmission but if both are used there is a tremendous loss of performance on both ends. HQ bluetooth headphones can suffer from stutter if wifi is also used and sometimes the signal drops of the bluetooth. i dont recommend using both at the same time.
This is not only the case with xperia devices but almost all new smartphones.
Havent tried this myself but you could try a 5 GHZ router and connect to this wifi signal. Maybe that helps.
I get 25 Mbit download on my router. when a Bluetooth headset is connected i get a very unstable 3 Mbit. In the time that i had a note 2 i contacted samsung for this problem but they kept saying that it cant be an issue and wifi should work on full speed. but when doing some more research i found the real truth fast enough. wifi and bluetooth really dont like eachother in smartphones

Very slow iTunes download speeds

I've been having slow download speeds in iTunes for a while now. Downloading a 1 hour TV Show used to take 1 hour or so. Now it's taking 11 hours. Xfinity speed tests say I'm getting 28 mb/s downloads.
Some info:
iTunes 10.6 for Windows
Apple Air Extreme - the pc is hard wired to the router
Comcast as ISP
Using my ISP's DNS servers

Very Slow LTE download Speeds..

Hello all..I live in Bridgeport Connecticut, and i own a Galaxy nexus 4G LTE...I'm curious as to why i get such slow download speeds with my Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus Download speeds becomes extremely apparent compared to My sisters Iphone 5 ..I did 15 speed tests on both device The Galaxy Nexus and the Iphone 5.The iPhone got between 12-16 MBPS..My nexus got as low as 1.6 MBPS, and seemed to average around 2.4 MBPS..the highest was 3.9 MBPS. I used the speedtest.net android app and the servers etc were all the same..The nexus runs the stock jellybean firmware.
I love the nexus. However, i feel cheated that the iphone 5 gets about 500-600% higher download speeds..I think something software wise if holding the nexus back from acheive true LTE speeds available in this area.

Looking at forums today to see if this was reported and if there is a remedy. I share tino4342's problem and I live clear across the country in Snohomish, Washington. At a given spot in my home, my Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1 (locked) gets 2 mbps download speed while a Verizon iPhone 5 sitting next to my GN gets around 12 mbps, both tested using speedtest.net. In various other spots around town, the iPhone 5 download speed is at least 5 times faster than the Galaxy Nexus (both on Verizon).
This is absolutely not cool. I chatted with Verizon chat service and they said the LTE antenna on iPhone 5 was better. That has to be the biggest bogus point I've heard since the protocols they use should be the same and yield the same output. It has to be the placement of LTE Antenna in the Galaxy Nexus which is blocking the signal. I think Verizon should come up with some sort of remedy/partial refund for selling LTE phone that isn't! or if the hardware is faulty, they need to own up to it and replace it. Looking forward to a Verizon response on this issue.

IPad (gen 3) wifi download speeds

I recently upgraded my Comcast Internet to 50Mbps download speeds. Using the Speedtest.app I am showing around 30 Mbps on both my iPad (gen 3) and iPhone 4s. I was wondering if anyone has been able to achieve faster download speeds than that on an iPad/iPhone.
I was hoping that it would be faster considering my three year old Mac gets 55 Mpbs when connected via ethernet to the internet and that same Mac using wireless (in same room as wireless router and iPad/iPhone) gets over 50Mbps.
Thanks for sharing.
p.s. I am using an Airport Extreme AC wireless router

From what you've told us, the iPad should see the printer. No, you do not need any additional software on your iPad. You just need to be sure the HP drivers are current.
